Egg biryani is one such easy and quick to make rice dish that can be prepared in many ways. But till date the most quickest way to whip up an biryani definitely needs to be a recipe stolen from street vendors. Yes either their method is simple or most of the ingredients that they use are pre prepared and just touch of few masala and toss does all the magic.

Yes the rice here is already cooked and only the masala is prepared which actually reduces the cooking time and instantly we have biryani ready. This recipe can be prepared with leftover regular rice or basmati rice.
